In a straight-to-the-web special for the middle of October, John Oliver takes a crack at "egg nog for morning people."
Martha is baking me a cake that has two of my favourite ingredients: chocolate and coffee (espresso, to be exact). I came across this ad, produced a few years ago for the Italian manufacturer Zaini and its Kofli products.
One of my favourite drinks is a flat white, which is pretty much like a latte ... but (since we're being exact and pedantic) not quite.
The following chart, as seen here, helpfully lays out what ingredients go into what drink, although I'll note that I've been given several precise - and varying - definitions for exactly a flat white is!
By the way, a nice flat white can be had at Post Espresso on Water Street. Nice folks, too.
This image, from one of last month's storms, is on their Tumblr feed.
... under my feet, every time I brew up a batch of coffee.
These retro-minded ads were spotted on, of all things, I Love Retro.
Because I will win. Don't even try.
Thanks to Laurie.
[Surf's Up, as published in the St. John's Telegram on Thursday, February 16, 2012.]
We're going to hop, skip and jump around the digital neighbourhood, with stops for wine lovers, music buffs and aspiring Star Wars villains.
Let's not waste a second.
Darth Maul MeThe re-release of the Phantom Menace didn't exactly stir my excitement, but I have to admit I had a laugh with this free app available from the official Star Wars site. Take a new picture or one from your library, make some taps and tweaks, and voila: you have the red, tattoeed and horned face of a Sith master. (Or Sith apprentice, to be precise.) It's even more fun with kids.
Natalie MacLean: Wine Picks and PairingsBased in Canada, MacLean has earned a global reputation as a wine writer, and now has an app to complement a growing list of publications. Her newest book is Unquenchable, which focuses on bargains in the wine store; MacLean will be in St. John's soon to promote it. The app is free, although you can pay for full access to reviews. A great feature: a barcode scanner that you can use while browsing at the NLC. MacLean also offers exhaustive suggestions for finding a good wine to match your food, and vice versa.
One Brilliant BottleA couple of years ago, St. John's novelist Kevin Major undertook an ambitious blogging project: picking one wine each week, and producing a small essay about it. Each was illustrated with rich photographs. The idea was to do 52 wines (Major specializes in organic and biodynamic selections) in as many weeks. Encouraged by the response, Major kept it going for another year. Now that 2012 is underway, Major has happily decided to keep updating the site, and few would be upset that the new entries come at a more leisurely pace. It's one of my weekend reading pleasures.
Coffee MusicHere's a blog in a similar vein. Creator Josh Hooten intends to take a photograph every day this year of a coffee as he enjoys it, with a note about the music he's listening to at the time. These happen to be two of my most favourite subjects, so I am a little biased. A daily pace is a bit of a grind and Hooten has been struggling to keep pace, although I intend to keep checking … in part for some random musical inspiration as I enjoy my own coffee break.
Valentine AbbeyValentine's Day may have come and gone, but Downtown Abbey fans will relish these amusing virtual cards, any day of the year.
40 Noises that Built PopFrom Word, the excellent British music magazine, here is a tribute to specific noises that made rock music what it is, from the sweeping glissando on a piano (think of the opening sound of Abba's Dancing Queen) to the power chord (thank you, Kinks) to the fretless bass (a little jazz making its way into the rock world). The best part? You can play an audio sample to hear precisely what each entry is describing.
Donna Ramsay PhotographyRamsay was among the recent winners of the Newfoundland and Labrador Bloggers' Choice awards, in the photo category. Her blog showcases her work, particularly in portraits, and largely in black and white. The drawback? It'd be nice to see more frequent updates.
Scale of the universePlay a little big bang theory from the comfort of your own home, with a slider that shows you things that are small (an earthworm) or incredibly small (the nucleus of an atom, which is many times larger again than other options) and things that are large and then incredibly … well, you get the picture. Consider it bit of mind-blowing activity to put everything else in perspective.
John Gushue is an editor with CBC News in St. John's. Twitter: @johngushue.
As seen here.
With bite, of course. Or bites ... there are two.
A few years ago, Martha gave me the nickname of Coffee Minion, as - in the division of household labour that we've worked out over the last, um, 26 years or so - I make the coffee. (Rather well, I might add.) Here's the scene from this morning.
And here's the finished result, ready to serve:
The name of this design on Threadless is, wait for it, Coffee Venndor.
I saw this episode play out several days ago when I was in Toronto on business.
A young man in a business suit is ahead of me in the morning lineup at a busy coffee shop, ordering a latte. "I want a single shot of espresso, and then another shot, and then do that milk thing," he says.
"Oh - you want a double," says the woman behind the counter.
"Noooo," he says, "That's different. I want it to have two single shots, and then you can do that milk thing."
The woman, who must have been struggling not to roll her eyes, says, "Of course."
Later, while we were waiting for our orders, I notice she had circled the "double" box on the paper cup anyway.
I could definitely have come up with this myself. I didn't, of course; I saw it here on Jon Rowe's Tumblr.
Amusing, even if I have a tribal eye-roll over the Irish coffee joke. I love the eyes on the extra-shot one though!
A snap of one of the coffee runs of late. Dave, who operates the canteen at the CBC building (a small business of one, but an appreciated one; he sustains us every weekday) is enjoying his vacation and hopefully decent weather. That's left those of us with coffee habits to wander out ... and for me, it's an excuse to a) get some air and exercise and b) clear my head. Nice things, but I can't wait for Dave to be back!
I snapped this on Friday when I was on the way back to work, after picking up a coffee from the student centre at Memorial University. Note the coffee-themed T-shirt!
One of my favourite Star Wars-parody T-shirts. I bought it from TeeFury a while back. (Of course, it really helped that it involved another key interest in my life, coffee.)
As I've mentioned, we were in San Diego in June for a family vacation. A bit of a working one for Martha, as she had a conference to attend. Our home base was the hotel where the conference was held, just few dozen metres from San Diego's harbour. Nearby was a place called Seaport Village, a cluster of shops, restaurants, boutiques and atractions that seemed to cater largely to visitors, although I imagine a lot of the business also comes from the southern California area.
Tucked in the area was a bookstore that became a hangout for us, partly because of the excellent coffee, partly because of the free wifi ... and definitely partly because it just felt comfortable.
It's very much the kind of bookstore I'd love to see in St. John's.
The Upstart Crow is in a building that seems like a cottage; if you didn't look at the surrounding buildings, you'd think you were in an English village.
It's what's inside, though, that mattered. The Upstart Crow has a fair bit of room. It has two levels, although the upper one is more of a partial attic, holding some of the books. It serves a variety of foods to go along with the coffee, with a cafe inside. The seating area is obscured in the shot below by a section of the bookshelves.
The selection of books wasn't particularly unusual; the pastries were not exemplary; the novelties and cards (a real profit centre of an independent bookstore, I'm guessing) can be found in other places.
But it all came together. The store had a vibe. We wanted to go there, just to relax and unwind. Nick and I played checkers on a table while Martha browsed the books; we stretched our legs and read quietly at the end of the day; we stopped in for a caffeine hit before we set out on the day's adventure. We never once felt rushed when we tapped into the complimentary wifi to catch up on the news. And, yes, we spent a fair bit there over the week.
It's something that's missing in the local retail scene.
From TED, Steven Johnson telling us why coffee changes the world. There. Now, go have a second guilt-free cup!
Hopefully it won't fling itself out of your cup.
We dropped in to the newly opened Best Buy on Stavanager today, and braved the crowds. I went up to the nearby tiny box that will be a Second Cup drive-thru. I'm not that excited about yet another drive-thru, but it's not bad having another option for stopping for a coffee and a read.
Nothing against 42; it's a lovely number. But caffeine has, over time, proved its worth to me in every way.
I snapped this quickly a week or two ago at the Second Cup outlet at the Avalon Mall. Maybe the pricing board has been like this for a while and I've just never noticed, but it struck me that when you buy beans there, you don't pay by the pound (I've become accustomed, what with the rise in prices in the last year, to shell out at least $15 for a decent variety, although I've also been keen ) but by the 100 grams. After all, it certainly sounds better to be paying somewhere between $3.50 and $4 for each pricing unit ... even though many customers will still buy a pound.

Bath (see map at Sagadahoc County and Its Towns) is known as "The City of Ships;" a proud city with a lot of heritage and life. Bath is ranked 17th Best Small City in America and is one of the most populated cities in Maine (approximately 10,000).
Bath was named for the famous watering place of English Avon - Bath, England. For this name, the city is indebted to Dummer Sewell, Esq., Bath's first postmaster and a representative in the General Court. Bath got its nickname from its long history of shipbuilding and fishing and the first ship ever built in the New World was constructed about 15 miles from Bath at the Popham Colony, the first attempt at a permanent settlement in the area in 1607 at the mouth of the Kennebeck River. This settlement failed due to lack of leadership and harsh weather. The surviving settlers sailed back to England the following year, some of them aboard the pinnace Virginia, the first seagoing vessel built in North America by Englishmen.
The area that now encompasses Bath, Maine, is believed to have been first inhabited by the prehistoric Red Paint people, then subsequently by the "People of the Dawn," the Abenaki Indian nation within the Algonquin group. Viking explorers may have visited the Maine coast and rivers early in the eleventh century, followed later on by European fishing parties. A progression of expeditions then occurred, each looking for wealth and a short passage to the Indies. In 1605 Captain George Weymouth sailed along the coast and Samuel de Champlain went up the Kennebec River to the area that is present-day Bath.
Bath is situated on the Kennebec River (in Abenaki means "long level water") near the center of Sagadahoc County. Woolwich and Arrowsic - both separated from Bath by the Kennebec River - bound it on the east; West Bath, Brunswich (in Cumberland County), Topsham, and Bowdoinham lie on the west - the latter two being separated from Bath by Merrymeeting Bay (see also Where is Merrymeeting Bay?); and West Bath and Phippsburg lie to the south. The town lies on a long peninsula along the Kennebec River from north to south, is about five miles long and its average width is about 1-1/2 miles; hence, the oftentimes used nickname in the 1600s of "Longreach."
During colonial times, Bath and other present surrounding towns (West Bath, Woolwich, Arrowsic, Five Islands) were referred to as The Parish of Georgetown. Just at the time when Greene was campaigning against Cornwallis in the Carolinas, the Parish petitioned to be made a town and, in 1781, incorporated as Bath. Bath was the first town incorporated after the new constitution of Massachusetts was adopted. In 1844 the southwestern portion was set off as West Bath; in 1847 Bath received a city charter; and on the establishment of Sagadahoc County in 1854, Bath became the county seat. Shortly thereafter, western residents of Bath formed West Bath, and in recent times, West Bath has become a municipality.
The Carlton Bridge, one of Bath's oldest landmarks, was built over 75 years ago, to permit trains to pass over the Kennebec River instead of being ferried across. The Carlton Bridge's replacement is now completed and the old bridge is coming down. It will probably (according to rumor and recent newspaper articles) be named The Sagadahoc Bridge for the county where it is located.
Every community along Maine's southern coast has its own tradition of shipbuilding and fishing; however, the best can be realized at Bath. Of the many shipyards, the Percy & Small Shipyard was the last surviving one to build large wooden sailing vessels and its buildings. With the acquisition of the Percy & Small Shipyard acreage on the south side of the City in 1971, the Maine Maritime Museum has preserved the State's shipbuilding heritage exactly as it was for hundreds of years. In 1964 the Marine Research Society of Bath (formed in 1962) opened a storefront exhibit to the public. In that same year, the Sewall House at 963 Washington Street was donated to the Society, which was reorganized as the Bath Marine Museum, and in 1989 became the Maine Maritime Museum. The earliest recorded shipbuilding venture in Bath was in 1743 by Jonathan Philbrook and his sons, who built two vessels in the vicinity of present-day Lambard Street. Another pioneer in the shipbuilding industry of Bath was Captain William Swanton, a soldier in the French wars, who served in the reduction of Louisburg in 1758. In 1762 he established a commercial shipbuilding business and built a ship each year for 15 years, up to the year 1776.
The Bath Iron Works (affectionately called the "BIW"), Maine's largest private employer, is located in Bath and has been in business for over 100 years. Originally named the Bath Iron Foundry, the BIW has a proud history of making seaworthy vessels for the U.S. Navy. During WW-II, the BIW built more ships than the entire Japanese Navy had, launching a new ship every 17 days. The BIW is currently constructing the Arleigh Burke Class Aegis Destroyers for the U.S. Navy.
Another eminent citizen, also engaged in shipbuilding and a great promoter of commerce, was William King, who later became the first Governor of Maine when Maine became the 23rd state admitted to the Union in 1820. King also led the local militia during the War of 1812 with England. Dummer Sewell (mentioned above) served during the American Revolution and when news came about the battles of Lexington and Concord, he led a group of men to North Bath to stop British workers from chopping down trees for British ship masts.
Bath has changed in many ways during its existence, but the community still cherishes its valuable heritages from the past. The results of Bath shipbuilding can be seen throughout the City. Self-guided walking and driving tours are available from Sagadahoc Preservation, Inc., (see below) that includes the Customs House (built in 1858), the Chocolate Church (built in 1847), and a visit to the Patten Free Library (built in 1889) where the Sagadahoc History and Genealogy Room, operated and maintained by the Bath Historical Society, is located. This room contains an abundance of genealogical research materials and is used by researchers from the US and Canada.
Bath provided many of its sons (and daughters) to the defense of home and country. Henry Wilson Owen in his History of Bath, Maine (pp 501-526, published by the Bath Area Bicentennial Committee 1976) provides an excellent accounting of military history for Bath beginning with the Second Parish Company, organized almost as early as the town itself, up through WW-I. During the Civil War, Bath sent 765 soldiers to aid the Government in the preservation of the Union, of which 117 are known to have been lost; a monument was later erected to commemorate this sacrifice in the city park.

"I make the bed and look at the bars that cover the whole prison, the turret with its windows and powerful spotlights. I remember when I told you, "Whatever happens, we'll look up at the sky, the constellation of Orion and the moon, and we'll remember this moment." I think I may have lied to you. From here the spotlights impede the view of the moon and the stars. I close my eyes from fatigue. Sleep enters softly, pleasantly, it surrounds me, until finally I'm in the forests and mountains again, you both look at me and laugh, the little hummingbird points his finger at me, "ile nuna" (look, moon) and I say to him, "Yes son, the moon," and we escape again, and I no longer belong to the prison."

Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum grandiflorum)
Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale)
Jasmine belongs to the large olive family (Oleaceae), which consists of woody shrubs and climbers. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World, but has been widely cultivated elsewhere. Jasmines can be grown in cold climates, but usually require frost protection or greenhouse cultivation to flourish. We buy our jasmine absolute from Egypt and India.
The star-shaped flowers are white to pale yellow and extremely fragrant. They open to release their scent at night. Several unrelated plants are also referred to as 'jasmines'.
Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese traditional medicine feature the use of jasmine blossoms and oil. In India, the oil was considered luxurious and an indication of wealth; and the flowers are widely grown in home gardens as well as for commercial production. Jasmine flowers are also important in Hindu ceremonies and are mentioned in religious texts.
Both men and women have long used jasmine oil in India as an aphrodisiac, hair and beauty tonic and as a sensual perfume.
Jasmine was brought to Europe in the 16th century and became a staple ingredient in the growing perfume industry. In Grasse, France, every August jasmine festival is held there. Revellers scatter jasmine water and flowers over celebrating crowds, and the town comes alive with music, events and visitors from all over the world.
The jasmine flowers are processed through solvent extraction to produce a concrete, from which the absolute is made. It can take thousands of jasmine flowers just to produce 1 kilo of absolute, a thick, dark-orange liquid, which has an intensely floral, rich aroma.
Jasmine is often used in cosmetics for its fragrance, but it is also valued in aromatherapy for sensitive skins, muscular complaints, depression and other stress-related conditions.
Jasmine is one of our favorite materials and we use jasmine absolute in many of our best-selling products, including Sex Bomb and Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb. Jasmine and Henna Fluff-eaze will scent your hair with it for days!
It is part of the rich, sensual aroma of our Flying Fox shower gel.
To make our jasmine flower infusion, we wrap the petals of Jasminum officinale in muslin and infuse them in boiled water.
Aromatherapists recommend jasmine for relieving stress and pre-menstrual tensions. It is said to relax mind and body, also acting as an aphrodisiac.
Jasmine flower infusion is a water-based ingredient, ideal for hair and skin. In Rub, Rub, Rub shower gel, its floral aroma stimulates your senses and soothes the skin.
